I haven't made a connection between the women-are-wise trope and the scoffing at play-culture, that's an interesting one. That part is certainly cultural - Out of the cultures I've known upclose, the most evened out places in regards to the participation of girls in play-culture seems to be Holland and Canada (At least Ontario).
I admit I was steering towards a different direction: Thinking about my own anecdotal experiences in conjunction with the tropes brought up here, I can't help but wonder if for a woman who is influenced by the imagery of the women-are-wise trope, admitting to be wrong is almost akin for a macho man admitting to be weak.
